Video Art is one the very first samples of digital arts. It is digital art works that use video as the main means of recording and presentation. Through video artists either produce or reproduce pictures of a visual aspect by using forms and colours likewise traditional arts, such as painting. The picture becomes a moving pattern, in which photography, motion and sound transform into tools in artists’ hands and emancipate fantasy and experimental mood in a field that attracts People of Arts and not necessarily artists of a special cultural practice. Visual artists, musicians, dancers, poets (...)

Nel 1994 fa il suo ingresso nella Rete e il ritmo (...)

Bill Viola, simbolo della video arte, ha realizzato per Villa Panza la mostra Reflections. Sono esposte undici installazioni che definiscono i temi centrali del suo lavoro dagli anni '70 ad oggi, scelte e pensate appositamente dall'artista americano in dialogo con l'architettura del luogo. Le opere creano un viaggio di spiritualità e di energia dal quale il visitatore uscirà completamente trasformato. Nelle Scuderie della Villa è esposto il sorprendente Nantes Triptych (1992) che documenta la ricerca di Bill Viola attraverso concetti esistenziali quali la nascita, la morte e la trascendenz (...)

Li chiamano "turbo movie", ovvero film nati grazie a metodologie alternative che rimettono in discussione i parametri dell'industria cinematografica tradizionale: la produzione è dal basso, dunque partecipativa e con uno sviluppo orizzontale, la sceneggiatura è aperta e in continuo divenire, il processo generale si basa su un'economia di scambio che attinge da piattaforme multiple, mettendo insieme contributi, conoscenze e risorse economiche eterogenei. È da queste logiche che nascono alcuni film del collettivo Alterazioni Video, tra le punte di diamante della ricerca artistica italiana, a (...)

Elizabeth Price presents her new video The Woolworths Choir of 1979, composed of three distinct yet supplementary episodes. The work is installed within a precise sculptural environment designed by the artist for MOTINTERNATIONAL's new premises. In her video Price draws parallels between the processes of artistic, archival and social assembly. The word ‘choir' is commonly used to refer to an ensemble of singers, but it also describes the area of a church consisting of ornately carved pews built to hold such a group. Archival photographs, clicks and choral fragments, virtual 3D renderings an (...)

The Mapping Journey Project, produced between 2008 and 2011, is a mixed-media installation that combines eight video works (Mapping Journey #1-#8) and eight silkscreen prints. Each of the videos is based on Bouchra Khalili's encounters with undocumented refugees, who describe their journeys by marking their own zigzagging routes on the surface of a map. Only the map and the hand of the narrator are visible in the video. In Mapping Journey #6 (2010), a young man, who is ultimately trying to reach Italy, travels from Afghanistan via Pakistan to Teheran. He then walks to Istanbul and continues h (...)

Video represented a new frontier, one that allowed artists to channel and expand upon common artistic concerns of the era at the intersection of minimalism, performance, interdisciplinary exploration, and conceptual art. Campus pursued many directions, and fully exploited the medium's nascent potential—he employed spec (...)
